Systemic pattern of free radical generation during coronary bypass surgery.

Abstract: Diffuse impairment of ventricular function after cardiac surgery may be related to the generation during reperfusion of the myocardium of free radicals derived from oxygen. Fifteen patients undergoing elective coronary bypass surgery were studied by previously described assays for peroxidised lipids and for isomerised lipids which were used as indices of free radical activity. Serial blood samples were obtained from systemic arterial, mixed venous, and coronary sinus catheters before, during, and after the isc… Show more

“…Myocardial reperfusion during cardiovascular surgery has been shown to increase systemic indices of free radical activity including liberation of lipid peroxides [14,15]. The exact source of free radicals resulting in lipid peroxidation after cardiac surgery is not clear, because some studies found increased lipid peroxides in arterial Inselmann/Köhler/Lange/Silber/Nellessen and mixed venous blood but not in the coronary sinus [14,16]. In contrast, Lazzarino et al [17] found that lipid peroxides increased in the coronary sinus during heart surgery.…”

“…Amounts of TBARS were expressed in equivalents of MDA from a standard curve prepared with tetramethoxypropane [13]. In order to adjust for perioperative hemodilution MDA was expressed as nmol/g of albumin [14]. For reference values sera of 9 patients undergoing sterniotomy and following lung operations were analyzed in the same way.…”

“…A major contribution to pulmonary injury after CPB is attributed to free oxygen radicals arising from ischemia and reperfusion. 12,13 The rise of free radical levels is more intense in the early reperfusion period. After reperfusion, contact of the ischemic tissue with the molecular oxygen results in the formation of free oxygen radicals in a high proportion, and the longer the ischemic period lasts, the more the free radicals are produced.…”

“…Through the above mechanism, one can hypothesize that free radicals and oxidants injure the vascular endothelium, which reduces NO production, which then leads to neutrophil infiltration. Furthermore, leukocyte activation fuels the release of large amounts of oxygen free radicals during and after CPB (2,9), which ultimately impair the availability of NO and alter the NO-receptor interactions, thus contributing to the mesenteric endothelial injury in our control group (positive feedback cycle). PARP inhibition, by interrupting this cycle, may reduce both neutrophil infiltration and free radical generation.…”
